Abstract: A vehicle outer handle system includes a handle main body formed from a synthetic resin and having a hollow grip part, and an electrode for detecting a change in capacitance. One end of the handle main body is swingably supported in a door outer panel, and the electrode is housed within the grip part. A grounded electrostatic shield plate is disposed with the grip part outwardly of the electrode, thereby preventing an erroneous determination of a user's intention of opening the door.

Abstract: A vehicle equipment remote control system includes an electronic control unit that controls the transmission from vehicle exterior transmitters and a vehicle interior transmitter such that, when one of switchover intention detection means detects a vehicle user's intention to switch over a door between a locked state and an unlocked state, among the vehicle exterior transmitters, the vehicle exterior transmitter on the side where the switchover intention detection means that has detected the switchover intention is located transmits a request signal requesting reply data, and a prohibition signal is transmitted from at least one of the remaining vehicle exterior transmitter and the vehicle interior transmitter to prohibit the transmission of reply data from the portable transceiver, the prohibition signal being at a low output level that cannot be received by the portable transceiver that is present on the side where the switchover intention detection means that has detected the switchover intention is l

Abstract: A vehicle door handle system includes a pair of electrodes disposed within an operating handle located on the outer surface side of a door along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A detection circuit for detecting a change in capacitance between the two electrodes is connected to the two electrodes.

Abstract: An electric power supply control device for a vehicle comprises a lock actuator for driving actuators of the vehicle and an operation switch for outputting all operation instruction signal to the lock actuator. A circuit for vehicle running system for actuating an engine of the vehicle and a steering lock circuit for actuating the steering lock actuator in a locking direction are connected, exclusively with each other, to a power supply circuit. Wireless communication is conducted between a driver's transceiver and the vehicle when the vehicle engine is stopped and the power supply circuit therefor remains on, to automatically disconnect the power supply circuit.

Abstract: An active door latch assembly having a striker mounted on a vehicle body so as to be moveable towards and away from the vehicle body, a latch mechanism mounted on a vehicle door for latching the striker thereto upon closing of the door against the vehicle body, and a motor for moving the striker along the direction of the motion of the striker. A detector detects a latched stage of the latch mechanism, and a control circuit for activates the motor so as to move the striker away from the vehicle body when the detector has detected the unlatching of the latch mechanism and towards the vehicle body when the detector has detected the latching of the latch mechanism. Because the motor is activated upon detecting of the latching, premature or belated activation of the motor can be avoided. The detection can be accomplished by detecting the motor of either a latch member which engages the striker or a pawl which engages the latch member at its latched state.

Abstract: A speed meter system for a vehicle which comprises a first pulse generator for providing pulses in accordance with the speed or engine speed of a vehicle, a first counter which is coupled to the first pulse generator for counting the number of pulses generated by the pulse generator, a second counter and a comparator coupled to the first and second counters for comparing the counts therein, the comparator producing a first judgement signal indicative of whether the count of the first counter is larger than or smaller than the count of the second counter and a second judgement signal indicative of the equality or inequality of the counts in the first and second counts. A gate circuit is coupled to the comparator for receiving the second judgement signal therefrom, the gate being opened when the second judgement signal indicates an inequality and closed when the second judgement signal indicates equality.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electric type speed meter which comprises a pulse generating means for generating a pulse signal corresponding to a vehicle speed. A control circuit means counts the number of output pulses of the pulse generating means during predetermined time intervals and discriminates between a positive and negative difference between the number of pulses counted during a predetermined time interval and the number of pulses counted in a preceding time interval. The control circuit means generates a pulse signal corresponding to the difference therebetween. A pulse motor driving circuit applies the output of the control circuit means to a pulse motor for controlling the pulse motor in either a forward or reverse direction. An indicator means is operable in response to the pulse motor for indicating a speed corresponding to the speed thereof.
